Starting to love myself again



Recommended Posts

Surgery date: 12/26/14

Height :5'2

Starting weight: 250lbs

Current weight: 188

Pre Pant Size: 20-22

Current Pant Size: A VERY loose 16 :)

I can't remember the last time I wore a size 16. I look in the mirror and cant remember the me 62lbs ago. I never want to see her again. I have more energy then ever before. I have an amazing amount of confidence. So grateful for surgery. And so proud of what I have accomplished already. I know I still have a long way to go, but I know I will get there :)

Well done! It is a great feeling when you start to see the weight loss in your sizes of clothing.

I used to absolutely hate shopping and avoided it like the plague. Now I love the fact that I can walk into any store and buy clothing. I do not have to shop at Lane Bryant any longer.

Woot Woot!

Congrats. You look great. Keep up the good work! Our stats

Are similar. I was also 250 at 5"3' I am 15 months post op and down to 142. 2 elusive lbs from my goal. I'm in a size 5. Waiting for a date for my panni. I have found myself and love for myself again. Don't know where it went but I'm glad to have that love and confidence back again.

You look great and I understand what you mean. Weight loss has been such a positive thing for me too. But you were beautiful in your before picture and you are beautiful now. Your smile is amazing! Embrace the changing you but always remember to love yourself no matter what.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
